The Bride of Messina (German: Die Braut von Messina) is a tragedy by Friedrich Schiller; it premiered on 19 March 1803 in Weimar. It is one of the most controversial works by Schiller, due to his use of elements from Greek tragedies (which were considered obsolete at the time it was written).

Robert Schumann wrote an overture to Die Braut von Messina, his Opus 100. Less
